"Keep the speed!"
Late at night, Fang woke up and still didn't sleep. Xin Laoqi got a chair out. He sat on the bow of the boat with a charcoal basin at his feet and baked fish on it.
This is an unknown fish. It's very big. When it was caught during the day, it took more than ten sergeants to pull the rope and the fork. It took a long time to get it.
Fang Xing put a small dish of mustard in front of him and baked fish dipped in mustard. This is his attempt today.
The sound of the sea breeze blowing the sails came constantly, and two lanterns hung on the side, shining brightly on the bow of the ship.
This is a warship. From the afternoon, Fang Xing took Fu Xian and others to the warship, and then the war atmosphere suddenly became strong.
Tension was inevitable. After Fang woke up and asked someone to get a barbecue rack in the bow, the atmosphere gradually relaxed a lot.
"Tender."
Fang Xing feels that the current seafood should not have been polluted, so there is no need to be too afraid.
The juice was locked in the fish. Fang woke up, dipped in mustard, took a bite, and then swallowed it quickly.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Fang woke up and coughed a long way, then smiled and said, "this thing is strong enough!"
Hong Bao was not in the mood to eat roast fish. He sat under the lantern and looked at the chart, constantly calculating the place and time that the two sides might encounter.
Fu Xian is dozing off. From now on until he encounters the enemy, the three must sleep in rotation.
Fang Xing ate the fish and said, "almost. As long as they are still ambitious, it will be in these days."
Hong Bao didn't look up and said, "the enemy is clear and I am dark. This is our advantage. It just depends on Lin Zheng's response. If we scare them away, we'll run away in vain."
"Whatever!"
Fang Xing patted the fish scraps on his hand and said, "if they retract, they will attack their morale. Think about it, only three warships of the Ming army can scare you away. What else can you do?"
……
"We were sailing all night. It was a crazy adventure!"
"Yes."
Smith's eyebrows remained firm in the face of Reese's own criticism.
"What are we looking for?"
Frank's general said with some dissatisfaction, "they are just a small fleet. Do we want to catch up and kill them all? If we don't say whether we can catch up, even if it's achieved, is it worth it?"
Lisbon's general sneered, "where can we catch up? Their three warships with firearms are blocking there. Do our clippers dare to go? If they go, they will die!"
Smith still refused to compromise: "I bet they will slow down at night."
"You want to raid them?"
Lisbon's general covered his forehead and said, "you're really crazy, so you'd better pray that we find them at night, or their firearms will cost us a lot."
"Do you want to kill?"
Frank's general didn't have much sailing experience at all. The whole country was thinking about the war with the Canary flower and didn't have any marine strategy, so he couldn't keep up with his thinking.
Smith held the silver cup, slightly closed his eyes and felt the turbulence.
"Yes, now that the war has begun, we must shut up, or Daming will retaliate..."
The general of Lisbon gave general Frank a look, and then said with a sneer: "it's not that you want to kill him, but that you want to see where Daming is and how far it is along the way, and then the Canary flower can formulate a strategy for Daming..."
"Yes! The war should not have started at that time. The fool not only started the war, but also surrounded from both wings. This is the hostility of thorn fruit, which is hard to explain in the future. Smith, it's time to call the fool back!"
"Why?"
Smith took a sip of wine, looked sideways at general Lisbon, not general frank, and said, "do you want the right to command the fleet?"
Lisbon general said angrily, "now it's time to discuss the war with Daming. Who will command the war with Daming? That's not what you and I can decide, fool!"
Smith's face was more blue, but the general of Lisbon was more and more angry. He stood up and said, "the boat team of Ming people may have come to check. God knows if there is a big boat team behind. Smith, I said at that time not to send that fool who despised Da Ming. If you don't listen, what should I do now?"
Smith stared at him and said coldly, "the sea is so big that everything is bright. If they were half weak, bright people would think we were afraid of them. What would happen?"
He drank slowly and spoke slowly: "Ming people will force us to roll back, and then we will fall into a situation where there is no way to go again, and then..."
He looked at Frank's general and said contemptuously, "then there will be another war between us. Is that what you like to see?"
There was a silence, and the crew's vulgar cries and curses came from outside.
The risk of sailing at full sail at night is so great that the whole fleet is complaining.
The lookout post is desperately looking around. It must be changed once an hour.
The replaced lookout posts are almost ignorant, with blurred eyes. They can only move with the help of someone.
"Sleep!"
Smith drained his glass, got up, belched, and staggered into the cabin.
Later, snoring came from inside, and the generals of Lisbon and frank looked at each other.
"What shall we do?"
In the dark, they came to the side of the ship.
"Now the most worried thing is whether the Ming people's small fleet is intentional or routine inspection. If it is specifically aimed at us, then..."
"Then we should go back at once. That fool Smith always thinks that our three countries can defeat the Ming people at sea, but that's just his dream. Lisbon will never pay for it!"
"But now there is war!"
"Yes, but we can say it's a misunderstanding, can't we?"
"It's hard. Our mission has returned to China after hardships. He shows that there are tough military people inside. They don't like us. They even think we come from the wild world. Ha! The wild world, arrogant Ming people!"
Frank general sneered: "in fact, we prefer Ming people to set foot on land. Yes, then we will put them in trouble, finally defeat them, and then... The world is ours."
"But you didn't tell everyone the news!"
"Yes, this is the news that I came with the supply ship yesterday. At the same time, there is another news..."
"We can't go any further. His Royal Highness has some doubts. He hopes to withdraw before angering the Ming people, and then the three countries negotiate to occupy some places."
"What a nice place!"
Even in the dark, the eyes of the Lisbon general were still shining.
"There is land that can produce bread. There are herds of bison, natives and minerals. That's ours!"
"Yes, so we shouldn't provoke Ming people."
"We can explain that we came out, and then... I remember that the Ming army took the lead in launching the attack. We were just defending, and we didn't know their identity..."
"Yes, would it be better if we just wanted to find the Ming army to explain the misunderstanding?"
"Yes, I have to add this one..."
“.…..”
The temperature in the early morning was good. They sat on the side of the ship talking and gradually slept against each other.
"The bright man is ahead!"
A sharp cry awakened countless people's dreams
